What’s Included
- Savage Arms Model 24 Series S .22 LR/.410 combination gun
The Model 24 Series S is an over/under combination gun with a .22 LR barrel on top and a .410 bore barrel below. It uses a break-open action and a single-action external hammer. A flip-style selector controls which barrel fires, and the single trigger streamlines operation. Capacity is two rounds.
Barrels measure 24 inches, and the .410 chamber accepts both 2.5-inch and 3-inch shells. Length of pull is 13.0 inches. Iron sights include a hoodless ramped front blade and an adjustable rear leaf with elevator for precise alignment.
The barrels are finished in blue, while the receiver wears a color case-hardened finish. Furniture consists of a plain hardwood pistol-grip stock and matching hardwood forend, with the forend retained by a single transverse screw. The front barrel band has the mounting base present but no sling-swivel installed, and a fixed rear sling swivel loop is mounted in the butt. The buttplate is aluminum/coin-finished with a Savage logo and a black spacer.
Markings include a Westfield, Massachusetts rollmark. The "V" date code indicates 1968 production. Proof or inspection stamps include "V" and "18." This example represents a full-size, U.S.-made Series S configuration from the 1960s with the characteristic blued-and-case-hardened look.
